What customers say
I had a great visit to the Leica Gallery. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and showed lots of awesome goodies. They also gave me a tour of the entire space, and information on events. Fortunately for my wallet, I didn't end up buying a new Leica, but if I do want to get something I'd call them up first.
Despite the limited buzz around the store’s opening, it stands out as an exceptional gem! The store is two levels - the second floor has a small bar/indoor and outdoor seating area. On the first floor, you'll find stunning camera gear and two watches, each tagged at $15,500.
The Leica Store in the Meatpacking District is truly top-notch. Not only does it showcase the latest Leica gear, but it also doubles as an impressive art gallery. During my recent visit, I had the pleasure of seeing photography exhibits by Claudio Edinger and Penny Wolin—both were absolutely fantastic!
I called in to find out about a Leica Q. Shefa kindly walked me through their current offerings. I came in 30 minutes before they closed and Shefa was still there and helped me choose the right camera for me and even spent time to get me set up with some accessories after they closed. 10/10 experience. Thank you Shefa!
